. >> get romney elected. it's very simple. >> can you at the federal level, as the president's proposed today fix electoral law? can you do it at the federal level, or does the constitution preempt the federal government from getting into state election law? >> well, right. the states do have a fair amount of latitude in the way that they organize their elections. but we do have a civil rights division. i think that eric holder, or whether or not he stays, i think there will be more justice department oversight of what the states are doing, and i think there should be. i was very happy to see the president say we're not going to tolerate that. and i think it may be a place where it's mostly bully pulpit, but there is a role for the attorney general and for the justice department as well. they have to be overseeing exactly what these states are doing and what the impact, because we know why they're doing it. >> can they do it, david -- >> should make the case it's a civil rights denial when you have to weight
